Conor McGregor sued by longtime friend Artem Lobov for millions over Proper Twelve dispute

It seems like money issues might have ended the close friendship between Conor McGregor and Artem Lobov.

According to a report from The Irish Independent, Lobov is suing his long term teammate and sparring partner for millions stemming from a dispute on McGregor’s Proper Twelve whiskey.

Lobov reportedly initiated a High Court action and is claiming that he not only was instrumental in creating Proper Twelve whiskey, he also has an agreement that entitles him to five percent of the money McGregor made from the massive sale.

McGregor and his partners reportedly sold their stake in Proper Twelve for around $600 million in 2021, with the former UFC champion said to have made around $150 million from it.
